“Treat your cell phone like a mouse…”
“Treat your cell phone like a remote control…”
The Web Outside feeds off similes such as these like a llama gobbles alfalfa. As I’ve put forth on our About page, people are beginning to expect the same immediacy, accessibility, and customization in their real lives as they experience on the web. And what better tool to make this happen– wherever, whenever– than the cell phone?
Well, now it appears that we have a new (and unknowing) conceptual backer: Steve Ballmer.
Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft (for those of us who haven’t been keeping score), gave the keynote speech at Tuesday’s CTIA Trade Show. His core statement (“core” from where I’m sitting, at least): “In a sense we have to think about the phone as almost a universal remote control for your life.”
At the risk of patting this blog on the back… touché, Steve.
